Key facts
Contents & fields
The dataset contains geospatial data layers organized into folders: DEMs (lidar-based high resolution digital elevation models, GeoTIFF), Depth Rasters (lake level rise inundation rasters from -3 ft to 10 ft above LWD, GeoTIFF), Extent Rasters (single value rasters of inundation extent, GeoTIFF), Lake Level Vectors (polygon data of inundation extent, GeoPackage). A PDF documentation file is also included.

Why this is hard to get on your own
When obtaining high-resolution inundation data for the Great Lakes, data are often scattered across multiple NOAA pages and need integration.
